Cycling has long been a tradition among residents of real estate in Carnegie. The Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club was founded in 1924 and meets each week for leisure rides and races around the region.
Because of this culture, bikes lanes are scattered throughout Carnegie in order to improve road safety for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists.This feature could also be increasing the value of property in the area, according to research collated by global business editorial Fast Company.
